I'm finding myself in the odd position of desiring an older car to not put up with the bullshit. I don't need OnStar, I don't need lane assist, I don't need self driving. I don't need my fucking car to brake for me when it thinks I'm in danger. Just let me drive. Now they're trying to monetize heated seats and connecting my phone. It never ends. I don't need cars as a service. I just need a car.
The joy of seeing car bro gearheads with their LS swaps get humiliated by normies in Teslas wasn't worth it. Take me back.
Yep, that's why I drive a 20 year old truck. Interestingly, I've driven 60k+ miles in this truck (and others like it) and maybe 1-2k in all other vehicles, including those with auto breaking/etc. The only times I've been in incidents where auto breaking was needed was when I had it. No clue why, perhaps something about all the features lulled me into a false sense of security where I took my eyes off the road for much longer than I would in my truck.
